About this map

Harold Place (Keeline Cow Camp) and the small settlement at Jay anchor this 1970s survey of the High Plains ranching country straddling the Campbell and Weston County line. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and draws that carve through the prairie, including Little Buck Creek, Four Creek, and the prominent Jim Creek.

Evidence of local ranching and exploration is scattered throughout the area, from Harrel Res to several specifically marked Drill Holes. The terrain drops into the distinctive Hells Canyon in the southern portion of the quadrangle, while the presence of a Pipeline and a marked Trail suggests the ongoing industrial and transit use of this sparsely populated Wyoming territory during the early 1970s.
